Do the work.

 Savage intentions.

Misquoted misnomers.

Misinformed.

Jaded views.

Ill advised half truths.

Deception shrouded in illusion and cloaked in hypocrisy.

Knock knock.

Whoes  there?

Research.

Research who?

Any one.

Any place.

Any subject.

Any thing that you want to.

It's not illegal yet.

Think.

Want a cookie? 🍪

I don't like wasting my breath.

I like being mindful of it.

I don't like wasting my energy arguing.

I'd rather spend it creating.

I'd rather spend my free time pondering and creating not debating.

You are one those people that like to argue.

You "need" to be right.

You want the last word.

You want the final say

Ok. You win.

You have more knowledge than me.

Your  grade point average is higher than mine.

You have more degrees.

You can Google search quicker than I can.

You win.

Your right.

You know evvvvvverything.

You are smarter than me.

You feel better now?

How about a trophy.

Maybe you'd enjoy a parade.

Want a cookie?

Thanks for that

As much I hate you right now I want say thank you. 

Thank you for ripping off the blinders.

Thank you for destroying the ceiling and obliterating invisible lines.

Thank for making the unseen clearly visible.

Thanks for the discomfort.

Thanks for the civil unrest.

Thanks for making me appreciate all that I took for granted before you came along.

Thank you for giving me the much needed time to figure things out.

Thank you for that suffering.

Thank you for that pain.

Thank you for stripping me down to my bare bones and forcing me to see situations for what they really are.

Thank you for giving me the courage to let them go.

Thanks for revieling all my hidden foes.

Thanks for giving me the strength to keep fighting.

Thanks for awakening my spirit.

Thank you for forcing me to deal with me.

Thanks for helping me find accountability.

Thanks for showing me who I truly am.

Thanks for making it clear to me what I need to do.

I hate how you distruped my life.

I hate the way you decieved me.

I hate the way you ruined all my plans.

I hate you for all that you've taken away from me.

I hate you so much.

As much as I hate you thank you for making me better.

After surving all this hell that you put me through I now know exactly what I have to do.

I'm  now finally secure in the knowledge that I'll find a way to make it through.

Thanks for that but.........

F****YOU!

Farewell 2020

Perfect timing

 Your looking for something you can't see.

Your waiting for something that will never exist.

The timing will never be spot on.

The circumstances will never be how you invision it.

Even if you knew what it looked like you wouldn't be able to find it.

Your going to be waiting on an opportunity that's never going to come because your afraid to to take the first step.

Your afraid of looking foolish.

Your afraid  of sacrificing or possibly going without.

You are being strangled by your own doubt.

Your trying to wait for the line to get smaller.

Your progress is being stunted by your own doubt.

Your looking for a short path.

You worried about details that aren't even a factor yet.

Your plans will never fall in place if you don't take that first step.

Your going to grow feeble and old waiting on perfect.

Narratively speaking

We are in control. 

Our situation is not hopeless.

We have a say so.

We have the power contrary to all unpopular belief.

We have and are advancing at an expedient pace.

We will not be silenced nor muzzled until we win this race.

We are now among the elite that are responsible for turning the wheels to this machine were all inside of.

We set the bar.

We overcome all obstacles set in our path.

We push forward through our pain

We shatter our limits and break through barriers too.

We continuously find the strength to power though.

We contiuisly make a mockery of all that doubt us and tell us what we can not do.

No matter how much they try to tarnish our image or sully our names.... We still find a way to stand stand tall.

We remain bold and defiant.

We don't back down.

We triumph in the face of adversity.

We control the horizontal.

We control the vertical.

We "are" the air waves.

They are just glorified distortion.

White noise.

Feedback.

It might be their station but it's our show.

We are not the images they try to sell the people on.

We transced the box they try to place us in.

Adjust your set.

Is the image clear now?

Can you see our win?

Tis the season?

Seasons greetings to one and all.

Happy holidays.

Seasons greetings I say to yours.

Seasons greetings I extend to thee.

I hope you enjoyed yourself and enjoyed  spending time with your loved one's and those whom you consider family.

I hope you ate  your fill.

I hope you quenched your thirst.

I hope you took alot of photos.

I hope you created fond new memories.

I hope you played games.

I hope you gave and recieved gifts.

I hope you celebrated this season in all your traditional ways that you usually do.

I hope you received and sent love during those days too.

Now that the festivities are over I have some questions to ask.

Will you keep on showing love or did you just reserve it for these days?

Will you keep checking up on loved ones and keep making time for your family?

Will you continue to help all those in need and keep showing compassion towards your fellow man?

Will you keep doing and being the best you possibly can?

Was the joy you felt truly authentic or was merely a seasonal facade?

I'm not trying to harsh your buzz or derail your train.

All I want to know is if your happiness real or is fleeting just like this season?

Unboxed

 Don't put me in a box.

Don't lump in with your past experiences.

Don't try to a get read off me by what you personally believe.

I'm not that.

I'm not him.

I'm not them.

I didn't do it. 

Don't try to make me pay for his mistake.

I'm here to give.

I'm not here to take.

I'm not going to force my way in but I will not stand idley by and bludgeoned. 

Don't ruin something good over something that wasn't.

Take another look

What if they didn't reject you.

What if  they were waiting on you?

Appearances on the surface can be misleading.

Appearances on the surface can be down right deciving.

Keep an open mind.

Don't be so quick to judge without giving them chance.

Take your time.

Investigate.

Peel back the layers.

Reserve judgement instead of making up your mind at first glance.

Word

Their is life and death in the tounge.

You'd be surprised at the things words can do.

Words can cut shaper than the sharpest blade.

Words have the power to  heal and conceal more effectively than any tourniquet or bandaid.

 

Saying the right words out loud to the right person can propel them to the highest height.

Saying the wrong words to a person can ruin their entire day and may even aid in ending their life.

Their is life and death in the tounge so speak wisely when you speak them aloud.

Speak words that can inspire the most dismal of crowds.

Speak with passion.

Speak eloquently.

Speak passionately.

Speak with purpose.

Speak to inspire.

Speak to motivate.

Speak positivity.

Speak with kindness.

Speak light.

Speak love.

Speak change.

If you ever feel at an absolute loss on what to say then don't speak at all.

Let your silence be your response.

For after a word leaves your mouth  you can't undo it or take it back.

Take a moment to think about the last thing you said.

Can you live with that?

For the love of it.

Would you love doing it any less if no one knew you where doing it?

Do you find your work rewarding without being rewarded for it?

Would you quit doing it if none ever said your name?

Are you passionate about it or are you just seeking fame?

What is your intention?

What do you hope to gain?

Do with passion.

Move at a vigerous pace.

If you truly love it then everything else will fall into place.

Heavenly slice

Speak it like you mean it. 

Walk it like you talk it.

 Live it like you love it.

Be what you want to attract.

Think before you speak.

Plan the way you react.

It's just that simple.

It can be just that nice.

You can live truly free or keep paying the price.

masquerade

What's even really real anymore?

Sometimes it feels like I'm living in a post apocalyptic nightmare.

Everyone is walking around with a face mask .

Hoping it will protect them from invisible harm.

The masks come in all different,sizes, shapes, colors, and styles.

Some masks even have personalized messages inscribed on them.

You can see the huddled masses adorn them from miles away.

It makes me wonder sometimes what else are they trying to  protect themselves from?

Mask over rejection.

Mask over sadness.

Mask over bullying.

Mask over loss.

Mask over trauma.

Mask over suffering.

Mask over pain.

Mask over isolation.

Mask over hatred.

Mask over feelings of woe.

Mask over anything you don't want others to know.

Masks conceal.

Masks make you feel protected.

Masks make you feel discrete.

However, a mask  is only a temporary solution.

Their conceling effects we're not made to last.

There will come a time when all will be reviled after you unmask.

her tears.

She's ruined art.

She's tainted tranquility.

She had her landscape ravaged by an unwelcome poacher.

They promised to protect her and love her to no ends.

Now she cries silently praying for it to end.

She wants to leave to find heaven but is afraid of catching hell.

She tries mask her pain behind chartuse blinds of deception.

She's convinced herself that it's her fault.

She provoked the lion.

She evkoked his rage.

She did not carry herself to his liking.

Now she sits in a desolate cage yearning to escape.

She feels ashamed for allowing it to go on for so long.

The nightingale wants wants desperately to fly away from all that is wrong.

She want to sing but she is afraid to share her song.

Farewell party

What's more sweeter than sweet?

What's more heavenly then heaven?

Look at everything you bring to the table.

If they walk away then let them leave. 

Don't agonize.

Don't worry.

Don't stress.

Don't feel hurt.

Don't beg them to reconsider.

Don't chase.

Celebrate them leaving.

Give them their space.

Space.

They settled for space when you were their entire  universe.

Let them go.

Leave them to their fate.

Keep shining

Never look back.

Close the gate.

If they call saying they miss you....let them eat cake.

Message received

If you have something to say then speak.

Let your thoughts be known.

Make your intent be crystal clear.

I'm not a mind reader.

Meanings are never implied.

What's big to you is small to me.

Say what you mean and mean what you say.

Make your message be clear day.

Never assume.

Make your audience see the message your trying to convey.

Misunderstanding is darkness.

Communication is key.
